Filling the Shelf – 230
Welcome to Filling the Shelf, or as many of you know it, Mailbox Monday! If you’re interested in joining the fun or seeing what other bloggers added to their shelves, click away! (but beware, visiting other mailboxes will probably add to your neverending wishlist!)
Good Monday dear readers!
And here we are in November! I love this time of the year leading up to the Holidays! We’re not decorating before the end of the month, but I’ve already started on planning my Christmas shopping and we’ve started planning all the food stuff. Exciting!
And a bunch of new books on my shelf, heavy on fantasy and middle grade fiction I’d been eyeing for a while – with the exception of The Female of the Species, which is a YA contemporary I’ve seen compared to Dexter and the movie Hard Candy. This sounds so promising, I plan on reading it really soon! And I do have to mention that this illustrated edition of A Game of Thrones is so VERY gorgeous.
A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin – The Doldrums by Nicholas Gannon
The Thousand Names by Django Wexler – The Female of the Species by Mindy McGinnis
The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket – The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente
What books did you recently add to your shelves?
Oh my gosh, the cover of The Doldrums is fantastic!
The cover is what first pulled me to it! The inside is great too and the story sounds like a lot of fun!
My son loved Lemony Snicket.
Doldrums looks cute.
ENJOY your books and your reading week.

I really enjoyed my first Lemony Snicket, even though I’m way older than its demographic 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, The Doldrums catches the eye. Fun cover!
Yes, I love it! Nice illustrations inside too 🙂
The cover of The Doldrums makes me want to know more!
I had the same reaction when I first saw it!
Enjoy your books!! I’m drawn to The Female of the Species. Enjoy! Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
I’ve just started to read this one, I can’t wait to see how it unfolds! Thank you for stopping by 🙂
What a great mix of books! Enjoy!
I’m looking forward to reading them all! Thank you for stopping by 🙂
Enjoy your books! I added The Thousand Names to my to-read list – I tend to really enjoy military fantasy.
Thank you! I’ve heard great things about The Thousand Names; I can’t say that I’ve read a lot of military fantasy, but it’s different from what I’ve been reading lately.
